Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Whole-wheat tortillas (8-inch)
- 0.5 large Avocado
- 60 grams Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breast with olive oil and season with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before chopping into small pieces.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Optionally, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Lay one tortilla on a clean surface. Spread half of the mashed avocado onto the tortilla, then top with half of the grilled chicken, 30 grams of shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently to form the quesadilla.
Spray a medium skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Carefully transfer the quesadilla onto the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted.
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Repeat the process for the second quesadilla with the remaining ingredients.
Serve warm and enjoy!
